What it is

Ron is a type of rum, an alcoholic spirit made from sugarcane byproducts like molasses or directly from sugarcane juice. It is produced by the fermentation of these sugary liquids, followed by distillation. The resulting spirit is often aged in oak barrels, which imparts color and flavor.

Why it's used

In the US, rum is most frequently found in baked goods and desserts, such as cookies, cakes, and muffin mixes. It is added for its distinct flavor and aroma, which can complement sweet ingredients like chocolate and vanilla. It is also used in some savory items like gravy mixes.

Health notes

Rum is an alcoholic beverage and its consumption is associated with the health risks of alcohol. The US FDA regulates alcohol content and labeling but does not set specific health guidelines for rum itself. International bodies like the WHO have evaluated alcohol consumption and its health effects. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to various health problems.

Allergen info

Rum is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
